## Abstract An equation is derived (see Eq. (10)) for the vertical variation of the amplitude of standing waves when the wind direction varies with height and the wave is periodic both in the __x__‐ and __y__‐directions. The equation is solved numerically for specified two‐ and three‐layer atmosphe

The radiative damping of trapped gravity waves in an optically thin atmosphere is studied for a stratified Boussinesq fluid. The character of the atmospheric eigenmodes depends on the distribution of the Brunt-V~iis~il/i frequency N and the radiative relaxation time r. The calculations for simple la
It is shown that the discontinuous jump in the vertical wave energy flux of slow hydromagnetic-gravity waves, occurring at a critical level, which is accompanied by wave absorption, and the existence of a reflection point imply that slow waves are trapped in the solar atmosphere. Thus such a system
